In the era of AI, harnessing data analytics is essential for innovation. Organizations are transforming their data strategies to harness the full potential of AI.  

Learn how organizations create powerful AI experiences by unifying their data and transforming their data strategies resulting in significant operational efficiencies.

Steve Goodman explains how to manage and stay current with Microsoft 365 AI and Copilot features.

Tom Arbuthnot discusses how to stay up-to-date with Copilot Studio, Agents and Model Context Protocol and how to secure data.

In this session, we’ll explore how Microsoft Copilot Studio’s AI-driven features streamline the creation of powerful, interactive agents, while also simplifying both the development and design processes. We’ll dive into AI Builder prompts for generative AI capabilities, generative orchestration for intuitive agent design, and generative answers for enhanced user engagement. We’ll also cover integrating Azure AI Foundry models for smarter, more sophisticated solutions.

Session will focus on: practical demonstrations, best practices, and real-world examples of combining Copilot Studio’s AI tools to simplify agent development and enhance user experiences.

What attendees will learn: Hands-on knowledge of seamlessly incorporating AI features into agents, from concept to deployment, using Copilot Studio’s unified environment.

Recap of Ignite 2024 highlights focusing on Data & AI announcements and implications for enterprise.

En esta sesión veremos las novedades que nos traen las nuevas Azure Functions Flex Consumption, el como su nuevo modelo de escalamiento nos puede ayudar a desarrollar aplicaciones de manera mas eficiente en costos, su capacidad de integración a redes privadas, y otros temas mas que nos permitirán darles una mayor potencia a tus aplicaciones Cloud Native.

Kick off with insights from Michael Kophs as he shares how the Secure Future Initiative (SFI) is setting new security standards.

I want to introduce you to GitHub Models, an accessible and free tool for developers. We will begin by learning how to access GitHub Models and briefly exploring its intuitive playground. Next, we will delve into the exciting part - practical code samples, demonstrating their application both in GitHub CodeSpaces and on a local device. By the end of the session, you will understand the ease with which developers can test models within their AI projects, for free.

Showing how you can construct a custom platform dashboard. Headlamp is an open-source CNCF sandbox project for making custom Kubernetes platform experiences. Making your own dashboard for your organization's platform has advantages: you can provide a minimal set of features for your users in one place, instead of all the features in a portal you can reduce it down to only the ones they need. I will show: how to extend Headlamp to craft this custom experience for your platform's users; how you can provide UIs for CNCF ecosystem tools inside your platform UI, rather than use separate tools.

Using API keys? Then listen up! Many times API keys is the easy choice but they also constitute a risk. Learn how to mitigate this risk by using managed identity on Azure. But what even is managed identity? Let's explain this new concept and look at a practical example.

Hop on the Flatcar for a ride! Flatcar is a specialized operating system deeply integrated into the CNCF ecosystem. Discover how you can smoothly transition from project work to actively participating in other CNCF initiatives. We will explore what is Flatcar, how is it part of the landscape of Special Purpose Operating Systems Working Group (wg-sp-os). What makes Flatcar specialised for running Container workloads and other workloads like WebAssembly (WASM). All while contributing upstream to projects like Gentoo, systemd-sysext, and CAPI.

Join Daron Yondem as they discuss the various considerations when choosing a container-based service. Explore different options available, understand the pros and cons of each, and learn how to make informed decisions based on your specific requirements.

Experience a dynamic hands-on demo as Marina Marenkov guides you through building intelligent applications with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), GitHub Copilot, and cutting-edge technologies. This interactive lab simulation features four tasks, including launching GitHub codespaces, integrating Dapr using GitHub Copilot, and deploying applications to Azure with Bicep.
